    • Martini Royale Cocktail Recipe

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • Refreshing and invigorating: The combination of fresh mint, lime juice, and bubbly prosecco makes this Martini Royale a delightful and uplifting drink that’s perfect for warm weather.
    • Easy to prepare: With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this sophisticated cocktail in no time, making it perfect for impromptu gatherings or as a go-to recipe for parties.
    • Perfect for celebrations: The addition of prosecco gives this Martini Royale a festive and celebratory feel, making it an excellent choice for a special occasion or simply toasting to a great day.

    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients for the cocktails spread out on a wood surface.

    Fresh mint leaves: Mint adds a refreshing and cooling flavor to the cocktail, creating a perfect balance with the other ingredients. Be sure to use fresh mint for the best results, as dried mint will not provide the same flavor or aromatic qualities.

    Lime juice: The lime juice brings a zesty, tangy element to the Martini Royale, enhancing the flavors of the other ingredients and providing a bright and lively character to the drink. Always opt for freshly squeezed lime juice for the best taste.

    Martini Bianco: This semi-sweet, aromatic Italian vermouth is a key component in the Martini Royale, adding depth and complexity to the cocktail. You can find Martini Bianco in the vermouth or fortified wines section of the liquor store. 

    Prosecco: The bubbly, effervescent quality of prosecco elevates this cocktail to a sophisticated and festive spritz.

    Soda water: You can use club soda, seltzer, or tonic water for your soda water. Keep in mind, tonic water will result in a sweeter cocktail. 

    Substitutions and Variations

    • If you’d like a sweeter Martini Royale, consider adding a touch of simple syrup to the mix. You can make simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, then let it cool before use.
    • For an extra burst of citrus flavor, try adding a splash of orange or grapefruit juice to the cocktail.
    • If you’re not a fan of mint, you can experiment with other fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme, for a unique twist on the Martini Royale.
    • Swap out the prosecco for different sparkling wines, such as Champagne or Cava, to add variety and explore different flavor profiles.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Add the fresh mint and lime juice to the bottom of a wine glass. 

    Step 2 showing muddling the mint and adding the Martini Bianco.

    Step 2: Gently muddle the mint with a muddler (or wooden spoon) in the bottom of the glass to release the fresh minty and delicate fruity aroma. Then, add the Martini Bianco. 

    Step 3 showing adding prosecco and soda water to the wine glass.

    Step 3: Top with prosecco and soda water.

    Step 4 showing stirring the cocktail and garnishing with fresh mint.

    Step 4: Gently stir and garnish with extra fresh mint and/or lime slices. 

    Expert Tips and Serving Suggestions

    • Be careful not to overmuddle your mint as it can turn bitter. 
    • Chill your prosecco and soda water beforehand to ensure your cocktail is crisp and refreshing. You can also chill your serving glasses for an even more enjoyable drinking experience.
    • This Martini Royale is the perfect cocktail for entertaining. Add a few light or heavy appetizers paired up with this cocktail, and you have a party! For appetizer inspo, check out my Individual Charcuterie Cones or Baked Brie with Figs and Honey.

    FAQ

    What is Martini Bianco vermouth?

    Martini Bianco is a type of semi-Italian vermouth, a fortified wine infused with various botanicals such as herbs, spices, and fruits. It’s considered sweeter than a dry vermouth but less sweet than a red sweet vermouth.

    Can I make a batch?

    Yes, you can easily make a batch of Martini Royale cocktails to serve at parties or gatherings. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you require and combine them in a large pitcher or punch bowl. You can muddle the mint leaves with a long wooden spoon. I’ve included pre-calculated measurements for serving 8 Martini Royale cocktails in the recipe notes below. 

    Can I make a batch in advance?

    To avoid your cocktails going flat and the mint leaves turning bitter, I recommend making this right before serving. To prep ahead, you have everything ready to go and measured out so you can whip it up at a moment’s notice.

    How do I muddle mint for cocktails?

    Start by placing the fresh mint leaves in a glass or cocktail shaker. Then, gently press and twist the leaves using a muddler or wooden spoon to release their oils and aroma. Be careful not to over-muddle to prevent bitterness.
